A multi-species synthesis of physiological mechanisms in drought-induced tree mortality

Henry D. Adams, +65 more
TL;DR: It is shown that, across multiple tree species, loss of xylem conductivity above 60% is associated with mortality, while carbon starvation is not universal, indicating that evidence supporting carbon starvation was not universal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Weak tradeoff between xylem safety and xylem-specific hydraulic efficiency across the world's woody plant species

TL;DR: There appears to be no persuasive explanation for the considerable number of species with both low efficiency and low safety in branch xylem, and these species represent a real challenge for understanding the evolution ofxylem.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drought response strategies define the relative contributions of hydraulic dysfunction and carbohydrate depletion during tree mortality.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for a relationship between hydraulic regulation of water status and carbohydrate depletion during terminal drought and the role that duration of drought plays in facilitating carbohydrate consumption.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optimal stomatal behaviour around the world

Yan-Shih Lin, +57 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a database of globally distributed stomatal conductance (g(s) obtained in the field for a wide range of plant functional types (PFTs) and biomes.
